Energy Audits inspect and analyze energy usage and flows in a building to reduce the
amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting output.
Building technologies and advanced real-time energy smart meters allow business
and residential energy users to verify consumption in workplaces and homes. Passive
Solar Buildings take advantage of the local climate with window placement and
glazing, thermal mass, insulation and shading. Walls, floors and windows are
designed and located to collect, store and distribute energy without the use of
mechanical and electric devices.
Conservation and efficiency are energy reduction techniques; conservation implies
sufficiency and is the key to sustainability as it lowers energy costs by
reducing resource depletion.
Smart Location Encourages Transport Alternatives Historic Preservation
while Discouraging Sprawl
Urban and Suburban Transport developed with inexpensive fossil fuels. Recent
zoning practices range from greater urban density to incorporation of walking
and bicycling designs that, coupled with lifestyle changes like telecommuting, help
reduce transport energy consumption.
Sustainable Architecture is the Environmental Impact of Buildings
and Materials Energy and Space Usage
Environmental Design refers to the applied arts and sciences that
deal with the human environment in the fields of architecture, geography,
interior design, landscape architecture and urban planning. It also includes
interdisciplinary subjects like lighting design and historical preservation.
A Design Construction Operation and Maintenance Rating System
Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design
LEED is a green building certification program developed by the US Green
Building Council to assist building owners and managers to use resources
efficiently.
LEED for Neighborhood Development is a rating system that certifies local
development green buildings and integrates a project’s green building and infrastructure
practices. The credits relate to energy efficiency, reduced water use, building
reuse, recycled materials, and heat island reduction.
